Who We Serve

Students & Parents

Every year over 500,000 students rely on Peterson's for trusted advice and instruction.

Educators and Administrators

High school teachers, guidance counselors, and college admissions officers all have the same goal: help students achieve their educational goals. Unfortunately, the vast number of students makes one-on-one interactions sparse. That's where we come in. Peterson's provides curated information, instruction, and introductions to make your job easier.

Service Members

Peterson's aids service members in all branches of the military by providing print and online test preparation and basic skills courses and information. Peterson's is proud to be a partner of DANTES and AFLIS, among others. Through partnerships like these, Peterson's helps thousands of service members and families, transitioning service members, and those starting their military career achieve higher scores on college placement exams, military exams, and credit-by-exam tests, creating a positive impact for their future.
